We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this family in desperate need of God’s healing and deliverance. The struggles shared here are deep and multifaceted—mental illness, broken relationships, and the weight of sin that has left wounds not only in your life but in the lives of your children. We stand in the gap for you, declaring that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and His power to restore, heal, and redeem is greater than any affliction or bondage.
First, we must address the sin that has entangled you, for it is written, *"The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"* (Romans 6:23). Your love for other women outside of marriage is not merely a struggle—it is adultery, and Scripture is clear that this grieves the heart of God (Matthew 5:28). This sin has not only brought legal consequences but has also inflicted deep pain on your children, who are now suffering because of your choices. Repentance is the first step toward restoration. We urge you to turn away from this path, confess your sin before God, and seek His forgiveness. *"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9). True repentance also means making amends—doing whatever is possible to restore what has been broken, especially in the lives of your children.
We also lift up the mental illnesses afflicting your family. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and mental anguish is one of his tools to keep God’s people in bondage. But we declare that Jesus came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18), and by His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). We rebuke every spirit of depression, anxiety, confusion, and torment in the name of Jesus. We pray that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Seek godly counsel, whether through biblical counseling, medical professionals who honor God, or trusted pastors who can walk with you in this battle. Do not allow shame or pride to keep you from receiving the help you need.
For your children, who have been abandoned and left to suffer, we cry out to God for their protection, provision, and healing. *"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling"* (Psalm 68:5). We pray that God will move mightily to place them in the care of those who will love them, nurture them, and point them to Christ. We ask that He would soften hearts—including yours—to take responsibility for their well-being. If there are legal barriers preventing you from being with them, we pray for divine intervention to resolve your police case swiftly and justly, so that you may be restored to them if it is God’s will. But we also pray for wisdom, for not every desire to reunite is in their best interest. Seek God’s guidance above all else.
Above all, we must address the foundation of your faith. You did not mention the name of Jesus in your request, and this is not a small matter. There is no deliverance, no healing, no restoration apart from Him. *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without Jesus, there is no true freedom—only temporary fixes that leave you bound again.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts for this family. We thank You that You are a God who hears the cries of the afflicted and draws near to the brokenhearted. Lord, we ask for Your mercy to cover this man and his family. We repent on his behalf for the sin of adultery and for the ways it has harmed his children. Father, we ask for Your forgiveness to wash over him, and we pray that he would turn from this sin with godly sorrow, leading to repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
We rebuke every spirit of mental illness in this family. In the name of Jesus, we command every spirit of depression, anxiety, fear, and confusion to flee. We declare that this family is covered by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, bring Your healing touch to their minds, emotions, and bodies. Surround them with godly people who can speak truth, offer support, and point them to You.
For his children, Father, we ask for Your divine intervention. Protect them from harm, provide for their every need, and place them in the care of those who will love them as You love them. Soften this man’s heart to take responsibility for them, and if it is Your will, restore their relationship in a way that brings glory to You. We pray for wisdom and favor in resolving his legal case, that justice would be served according to Your will.
Lord, we also pray for this man’s salvation if he does not yet know You. Draw him to Yourself, reveal Your love and holiness to him, and let him experience the freedom that comes only through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Break every chain of sin, addiction, and bondage in his life, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved and set free. May Your will be done in this family, and may Your name be glorified in their deliverance. Amen.
To this brother, we say: You are not without hope. The same God who parted the Red Sea, raised Lazarus from the dead, and conquered sin on the cross is able to restore what has been broken in your life. But you must take the first step—repent, turn to Jesus, and walk in obedience to His Word. The path to healing begins with humility and surrender. Seek godly counsel, immerse yourself in Scripture, and surround yourself with believers who will hold you accountable. Your children need a father who is whole, not one still bound by sin. Your family needs a man who is led by the Spirit, not by his flesh. This is possible, but only through Christ.
Do not delay. The time to turn back to God is now. *"Today if you will hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts"* (Hebrews 3:15). The enemy wants you to believe that your situation is hopeless, but we declare that with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Rise up, take hold of the freedom that is yours in Christ, and fight for your family—not in your own strength, but in His. We stand with you in prayer, believing that God will do a mighty work in your life.
